Targeting rule (because it’s here to stay) should not lead to ejection. I don’t think it’s a good idea having them guess intent

Nothing needs to mirror the OT rules of the NFL. Preposterous that bad luck of a coin flip can unfairly alter the outcome.

It's good knowing the issue is at least under consideration for review. If I had my way, there's be penalties for officials who are standing in direct line of sight of infractions but not make the call. Have a good one, man.

Well, If the NCAA and NFL are so concerned about safety, then there should be no overtime rule and the game ends in a tie.....except playoff games. Then each team gets the ball at the 50!

You have the entire length of the field to defend to keep the opposing team from scoring a TD.

If you can’t force a turnover on downs, punt, turnover, Fg, etc., you don’t deserve to get the ball back.

Sorry, disagree with y’all. I don’t buy the both teams need to have the ball stuff. If it was the old way where a 57 yard field goal on an opening drive decided the game, yes. A touchdown? Sorry. No sympathy

Agree on targeting.

Would like to see OT start at the 50. Not a fan of the NFL OT.

They must do something about the injections part of it.

And to be honest, I know I'm in the minority here, but I think the college OT needs to be twerked.

Ready for your injection?
OK, bend over and drop your pants:

What I don’t like about college OT rules is that you are no longer playing football at that point. You are doing something else. There’s no special teams (other than Fg). Defense is already playing with the offense in scoring territory, etc.

NFL rules more resemble typical game play.

So if both teams happen to have strong offenses, but weak defenses, then the outcome is largely determined by a coin toss. Why not give them both an equal chance?

Exactly, each team should have at least one possession. If they are going to let a coin flip determine the outcome of a game, let's do it at the beggining of the game and save three hours of time and potential injuries.

I would be in favor of adopting the NFL OT rule in the third overtime.
Additionally all Td's scored in any OT would require a 2 point attempt.

They have an equal chance.

The perception is they don’t because of the strength or weakness of a team.

If losing a coin toss means you are screwed, go get a better defense.

If it was some big 12 game that is 51-51 heading into overtime...play some D.

Let’s also remember you had 60 minutes to play some D too

I understand the need for player safety on the targeting. Although as stated ejection is not the answer. Helmet to helmet contact is going to happen no way around it. As far as the OT rules mirror the NFL with the exception of you cant win on a kick has to be a TD. I wish the NFL would apply this rule.

As long as the rule change doesn't include some ambiguous language about the ball carrier lowering his head. I heard a lot of pod cast hosts and color commentators say things like," If a defender leads with the crown of his head it is considered targeting, but what about the ball carrier lowering his head to deliver a blow?" If that gets any traction the game will cease to exist as we know it. IMO targeting should be limited to hitting a legitimately defenseless player or spearing a player. Aside from the afore mentioned examples of actually targeting a player, let the players play the sport the way that it was meant to be played within reason.

And to be honest, I know I'm in the minority here, but I think the college OT needs to be twerked. I personally would keep the same format as it seems to be popular, but move the ball back to the 50 for both teams. At least make the teams earn a field goal.

My thought are the only changes to OT would be to have the teams start at midfield. Make it a little bit harder to get at least a FG.

Other than that, leave OT alone. NFL could learn a lesson from the NCAA on how to have OT.
